Question> You Gonna Eat That Bunny?

Question: You Gonna Eat That Bunny?

QUESTION
RECEIVED:

I am
trying to collect some information, and need replies from those that have
either been to seminary school, or at least have thoroughly read the Old Testament. Here’s my question, Do rabbits chew cud? I know it seems strange,
but this will really help. Thanks, Sarah

My
ANSWER:

My
guess you are really worked up on Bible minutia or you are playing a game of
Bible “gotcha” about if rabbits chew cud with someone who has some great yet
weird revelation only they know about Scripture.

You
may wonder is it legal by Scripture standards to do so. Hares and rabbits I guess have about 100 different
species. Through wild breeding they have probably been hundreds if not
thousands of variations since Old Testament days.

Rabbits
are not listed in the Bible yet hares are.
Is there a difference? Yes, but who should care if eating is all you
care about .

Why
should this really be unimportant?

You
have liberty in these times to eat what you want.

Acts
10

9
About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the
city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted
something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.
11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to
earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as
well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and
eat.”
